How did the CEO do this? What strings do you pull to get someone banned for Reddit whistleblowing? Who on the Reddit staff might "fence" his request?
It's possible the developer did something that left Reddit little choice but to suspend him.
Nothing will be left here but ruins.
Out of the loop here... What whistle did he blow? Anyone have a tldr?
CopperheadOS was spearheaded by two people (to my understanding): the founder, and the lead developer. They had a falling out. The developer felt that the founder had compromised their ideals in order to make money (how this was done has not been detailed). The founder told the developer that he's out. The developer, in turn, deleted the signing keys so that no new software can be published under the CopperheadOS nam…
If this personal battle is enough for folks to say the whole thing is now compromised, and one person held all the keys, how do you know he hadn’t been compromised before? If the code has no third party audits, or a web of trust, then it was never secure to begin with.

Edit: The repo is also private now
Obviously it won't be as peaceful a transition Cyanogen->Lineage, but that's my prediction for this Android variant in the next few months.
As far as I can tell, both the CEO and the developer have behaved very unprofessionally during this whole affair, airing their grievances and their dirty laundry on public forums. I don’t think I would trust either of them to run a company or maintain a trustworthy codebase. They should consider the damage they are doing to their reputations and start acting like adults.
